Colorado Brass, the leading British style brass band in the US state recently held its first ever Youth Brass Weekend that heralded the launch of its 'Colorado Brass Youth Program'.
45 young musicians were able to perform with the band in sectionals, masterclasses and individual tuition which resulted a short concert featuring three pieces worked on throughout the day.
Milestone
Speaking about the initiative, Music Director Brett Keating said: "The launching of the 'Colorado Brass Youth Program' is a large milestone for the Colorado Brass.
Our first ever Youth Brass Weekend signifies our organization's commitment to provide meaningful brass and percussion instruction to young musicians.
These amazing students represent 14 different schools across the Front Range, and it is our goal to enhance the strong education these students receive from their school band directors and private teachers!"
Help and assistance
Now the band is looking for the help and assistance to map and plan its future from its local community and those with an interest in brass banding.
They are asking musicians, educators, audience members, donors, and supporters to complete a short survey to help guide their artistic programming, community engagement, and educational initiatives.
Responses will remain confidential and will be used solely for Colorado Brass planning purposes.
